| See note 3180.
Also, you don't need to reboot, just change the file and select "use
last saved settings" from the Session Manager Customize menu.

To be a bit more specific about the pointer shapes...there are 76 predefined
pointer shapes or X Font Cursors as some call them. These are defined by
MIT (and company).
I'm not sure that I've ever seen them in any of the Digital documentation
but you have a copy of 'the red book' then they are show in appendix B.
Some of the more interesting shapes are:
XC_coffee_mug 28
XC_gobbler 54
XC_gumby 56 (Which doesn't work anymore...hmmm)
XC_pirate 88
XC_spraycan 124
XC_umbrella 146
When you use these you do need to put the minus sign in front of the
number for the session manager to know about which shape your looking
for.
Try some...and have fun. ;^)

RE: .-1
I noticed that you posted some cursor ID's as odd (147). I can't
recall offhand where I read it (maybe Ollie's book) but if you use
these numbers you need to use the even number.
Cursors are built with two pixmaps, a source and a mask. So all you need
to give is the even number associated with the cursor so X knows which source
and which mask pixmap to get to set the cursor.
